Search for Extraterrestrial Life
At the core of our explorations is the quest to know if life exists beyond Earth. The Planetary Society is a leader in the search for life on other worlds, whether intelligent or microbial. Our active projects: SETI Optical Telescope - Looking for laser signals beamed across the vastness of space. SETI Radio Searches - Huge radio dishes sift through nature's random noise for beacons from other civilizations. SETI@home - the largest distributed computing experiment on Earth. Right now, the radio search into the heart of our galaxy is being upgraded. The optical search is perfecting beyond state-of-the-art electronics. YOU CAN HELP!
